New book follows one man’s audacious move to become a whistle blower against a police force

Akron, OH (Vocus/PRWEB)March 11, 2011

Xlibris, the print-on-demand self-publishing services provider, announced today the release of The Color of Suspicion: The Demise of the Inner City Family. Authored by Sergeant Shawn M. Boal, this book takes a daring look at the anomalies that go on behind a seemingly unstained police department.

Unbeknownst to many, internal drug scandals, murder, police brutality, and blatant misconduct towards citizens unfold in a police department. One police sergeant stands up and blows the whistle on the severe acts of injustice; which hampers its inner-city families. Additionally, from the recruitment process to an officer being submerged into the police subculture, the police persona overwhelmingly places minorities within the crosshairs of police harassment and abuse of authority. In this release, Sergeant Boal, a fifteen-year veteran, vividly describes egregious police acts and relates their devastating consequences to the current demise of the inner city family structure. In addition, he uses examples from prior police calls of grisly homicides, ghastly child abuse cases, and brazen parental neglect to show the current strains inner-city families are enduring.

Honest, candid, and blunt, The Color Of Suspicion: The Demise of the Inner City Family is an eye-opening account that looks at the reality of the injustice created by some of the people the citizens expect to posses fairness and integrity.
